I don't think that's a fair claim to PaaS because PaaS can exist completely
independently of IaaS but can at points have integration. I run OpenShift
Origin at home on bare metal on spare hardware that I don't care to incur
the overhead of virt or IaaS. Because of this I don't like to classify PaaS
as an IaaS application.
